Not according to the only definition of treason applicable in Art. 3 Sec. 3. of the Constitution.
You can say something is treason, I can even agree, but it isn't really treason for purposes of the law unless it meets the Constitutional test.
I do believe that any public official who willfully violates his sworn oath should face the death penalty, but we really ought to call it something else.
How about First Degree Willful Intent To Violate The Public Trust, or Capital Breach Of Oath?
Cuz you won't get 35 states to buy it off.
Though the study lists the costs of regulations, it does not calculate any benefits that might have resulted from them.
I'm sure your conservative think tank will get around to doing this any day now though. It's a top priority for them right?
conservative think tank?
SOURCE?
The Obama administration issued $236 billion worth of new regulations last year, according to a report from a conservative think tank.
Serious?
Their biggest sin is they come up with the facts.

Core Retail Sales Beat Despite Electronics And Appliance Sales Drop; Empire Fed Misses Big
Good news, bad news on the economic front this morning. The good news: December advance retail sales rising 0.5% on expectations of a 0.2% increase, up from a 0.4% revised November print. Excluding the volatile auto sales, the number was up 0.3% on expectations of a 0.2% increase, and up from a 0.1% decline. Excluding autos and gas, the print was 0.6%, on expectations of a 0.4% increase. The biggest increase in December retail sales by category was in food services and drinking places which rose 1.2% in December, the same as November. Strong numbers were posted at clothing and accesory stores (+1.0%) and health and personal care (+1.4%) - all very low margin sales. Yet where the report was undisputedly weak, and where many were hoping for a boost but did not get it, was in the higher margin electronics and appliance stores, which dropped -0.6% in December, down big from the 2.3% increase in November, and further weakness for those hoping that December saw a surge in spending over gadgets and gizmos.As for the bad news: it was all in the Empires State Manfuacturing Index which missed expectations big, and in fact posted a decline from the abysmal November miss, revised to -7.30, and now down to -7.78, the sixth negative print in a row, on expectations of an unchanged print. This was the 5th miss in the series in the last 6 reports, the worst miss in 4 months, and the lowest number in 4 months. Alas there was no hurricane in December to blame this major miss on. Oh yes, we remember, "the fiscal cliff."
Everyone knew all along that the manufactured fiscal cliff "crisis" was having a negative impact on consumer behavior. Now it's no excuse?
yup
6 months
in a row
DOWN!
I blame SandyCliff Bush
Which metric?
